Chapter 6: The Contest:
Chuck Cluck's Story:
Thorn tells Rob about the contest.
"Ah, Rob will win it standing on his head," says Bow.
"Like this," asks Rob as he does that.
"But if we get there, Mordred will have our heads," says Bow.
"Yeah, but the winner gets a kiss from Mary-An," says Thorn.
"A kiss," asks Rob, "then I am there!"
"And if Mordred sees you," asks Bow.
"I'll be in disguise," says Rob.
. . .
The competition begins and Rob is there, disguised as an eagle.
"King Mordred," says Rob, "pleasure to be finally meeting you face to face!" He then looks at Mary-An. "And Mary-An, I do hope I win the honor!"
Upon looking into his eyes, she recognizes him!
. . .
"Hey, Rob's doing great," says Bow, "now let's see if I can fool them!" He then dons his disguise and walks towards Mordred. "King Mordred, allow me to introduce myself! Baron Desert, at your service!"
"A pleasure," says Mordred.
"Take a look at this," says Bow, "your brother had nothing on you... heck, Robotnik has nothing on you! You should be ruling Mobius!"
"I like what you say," says Mordred, "why don't you sit with me?"
"But..." Dave begins.
"I have a special job for you," Mordred whispers, "look for Rob!"
Dave then walks away.
. . .
The archers were firing their arrows, but the two that were on top were Rob and the High Sheriff.
"Watch this," says the High Sheriff. He then fires an arrow, and it destroys the target. "Beat that!"
"I'll try," says Rob. He then fires an arrow and destroys all the targets!
Mary-An cheered.
"You seem to favor him," says Mordred.
"He... fascinates me," says Mary-An.
"Yes, he fascinates me as well," says Mordred, figuring it out.
. . .
Dave was secretly watching, but then Friar Buck and I locked him in an outhouse.
. . .
Rob was declared the winner. He then kneeled before Mordred. "Congratulations!" Mordred then used his sword to remove Rob's disguise. "You're the winner!"
"Rob," says Mary-An.
"Guards... let him go," says Mordred. Bow had a sword at his back. "I demand that you set Rob o' the Hedge free!"
"Something's not right," says the High Sheriff. He then takes a look and finds Bow.
"Hey there," says Bow. The Sheriff then punches Bow.
"Cease them all," says Mordred.
They were all surrounded.
